Get insight on intriguing artworks at SCAD deFINE ART artist talks
Join SCAD deFINE ART 2021 exhibiting artists Kate Cooper, Christto & Andrew, and Paulina Olowska as they share the narratives behind their fascinating works on view at the SCAD Museum of Art.
Amsterdam-based artist Kate Cooper creates computer-generated (CG) video works that grapple with the constraints human bodies face in a world of ubiquitous virtual platforms and rapidly increasing technological advances. Her exhibition Symptom Machine presents four videos projected simultaneously within a multiscreen installation with sound design by musical artist Bonaventure. Follow @katecooper2 on Instagram.
Based in Doha, Qatar, and Copenhagen, Denmark, Christto & Andrew use a surreal style to portray the effects of structural systems like history, politics, and the economy, as well as popular culture at large. In A Message from Venus, the duo’s first U.S. museum exhibition, the artists present recent photographs that speak to our globalized culture at a time when our relationships to and experiences of image-making technology are dissimilar.

Polish artist Paulina Olowska draws out the psychosexual and sociopolitical constructs of female experience in positively feminist, nostalgia-laden paintings. With Mainly for Women, she brings the domestic act of playing hostess into the space of the gallery, inviting several other women artists to exhibit alongside her. The collective presentation takes on an almost mythic, séance-like quality, with many of the featured works drawing from imagery related to pagan mythologies. Follow @paolaorlowski on Instagram.
